I used to live at 14 Bell Street. When it was the tenements. On the other side of the hill going down to Bogston Station. I left the gibby in 76, just as they were completing the sports centre. I attended St Mungos Primary and this video is pure delight. Thanks from Birkenhead
The Smillie Street shops consisted of the Cooperative, Duncan’s newspaper shop, Langtree,s Sheridan the butchers and Zanoni,s fish and chip shop. Cantata,s was at the Laburnum Street sops. I lived at 4 Irwin Street then 6 Keir Hardie Street. I remember you very well and I hope you’re well.
Good video. I used to live in Whitelees Road when I was a kid, went south of the border in 1970 and been there ever since. Don't recognise any of it now. Used to be all tenements. It was great then.
